Former California governor and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger will re-enter show business according to Entertainment Weekly, but this time it won't be on the silver screen.
The action star will become a cartoon superhero known as "The Governator."
"When I ran for governor back in 2003 and I started hearing people talking about ‘the Governator,’ I thought the word was so cool," Schwarzenegger told Entertainment Weekly in his first interview since leaving office last January.
The 63-year-old former star of such movies as "The Terminator" and "Total Recall" came to America in 1968 from Austria in order to pursue a bodybuilding career. In the 1970's Schwarzenegger then got into acting.
Along with the cartoon, a comic book will also be made of Schwarzenegger. "The Governator" will be created by none other than Stan Lee, who is credited with creating "X-Men" and "Spider-Man."
The cartoon will combine elements of Schwarzenegger's career in acting, bodybuilding and his career in office. The Governator will be a crime fighter and former politician who has high-tech gadgets along with his own cave and a myriad of suits.
The cartoon will have it's slew of villains, including the maniacal coalition Gangsters Imposters Racketeers Liars & Irredeemable Ex-cons (or G.I.R.L.I.E. men.)
There is no news yet on which network will air the show.
